Lorde Stuns In Dramatic Looks In Her Latest Music Video

Lorde’s style is undeniably one to watch out for. For her second music video from the album, Melodrama, she gave her fans a total fashion feast.

In a dystopian, Rudyard Kipling-esque setting, Lorde walks along a trail of tall grass wearing a straw Jacquemus hat, a white shirt dress, and with a machete in hand. Suddenly, the gates open and she emerges in a different look, donning a ruffled white skirt and a corset top. And so her latest hit song Perfect Places starts playing, and Lorde continues to showcase her sartorial skills with fashionably-charged visuals.

Definitely not one for subtlety these days, the New Zealand pop star greets us with a stunning, voluminous blood red Vaquera dress that resembles a robe. And as she transitions to an eerie beachside–reminiscent of a darker version of Pentos in Game of Thrones–the singer walks along a stone-ground in a champagne embroidered Valentino tulle dress.

The video continues with Lorde swimming in a lagoon in a black ruffled dress because what else would you wear to take a dip in a waterfall? Hats also seem to be a major part as Lorde sits at a dinner party with a black head wrap–it has got to be the most luxurious look in the music video yet.

Who knew we would witness many red carpet-worthy couture in a Lorde music video? The 19-year-old previously revealed a more elegant but still youthful style in her music video called “Green Light”. But it seems like she has traded her club wear for more high-fashion ensembles. With such elaborately styled visuals from Lorde, we can only expect even greater looks from the young star from here on out.
